Oh my God! I'd better update my account with you right now. Wait a second, I don't have an account with Citizens Bank. I do find it off that your link, which I deleted,  seems to actually lead to the real Citizens Bank website. I'm really confused as to what kind of lame phishing scam would accidentally send me to the real bank in question.
